3779 days agoI know I have time, but I'm DIYing so I am leaving myself tons of time to mess up. :-) I love Fascinators, I have a black one I wear out all the time. This, and my 50's style tea length gown means I want a fascinator/birdcage rather than a full veil....

3796 days agoFor anyone with an outdoor ceremony that wasn't right outside of a building, how did you/do you plan to keep hidden until you get to the aisle? Our ceremony is in the middle of a field, and the building where the girls are getting ready is about 200'...

3797 days agoSince I got my dress in Oct (it was a sample so I actually have it) I've been searching for the perfect shoes. I fell in love with Badgley Mischka (spelling?) but they are a bit more than I wanted to spend. I've been scouring eBay, Amazon and the...

3806 days agoI want to share my recent experience in case it helps others. Last weekend we went to Crate &Barrel and Macy's to start our registries. We then decided to add Amazon for a few items that weren't anywhere else. That's when we discovered how jacked up...

3833 days agoHey all, I'm turning here because I know so many of you are pet parents and I just need some good, understanding vibes my way. Mon night FH and I came home and our little Abby was limping and in pain. No injury, she'd just been crated for 3 hours....

3839 days agoAfter reading the card box thread I realized I'm not sure where I'll put ours. The cocktail hour is not the same as the reception location, they are different buildings on the camp. I was thinking it would go at the entrance to the reception, but...

3840 days agoPersonally I've never been a fan of these at events because guests are left holding something after they eat the food. Today, however, solidified my dislike and I want to offer a word of caution. I was at an event today for work and they served fruit...

3840 days agoOver the baseball game...Or are you? Personally I'm not a big baseball fan, but I'm being supportive, watching my FH pace and cheer on the Mets, while I sit here with our dog in her Mets jersey. :-)

3842 days agoMy mom just left after a week of super productive wedding stuff and shopping. We found my dress (sample, $500 off and perfect), decided on bridesmaid dresses, found my mom's dress, toured the venue, made a few payments, secured the bar...

3847 days agoIt was so meant to be, too. At our first appointment, near the end of my pile of dresses, the girl comes back from the office with a gown that was a sample, discontinued, headed back to the designer for discount sale, and absolutely everything I...

3848 days agoI just had to share my excitement since FH is sore about the Mets and not keen on my giddiness at the moment. Tomorrow I pick up my mom from the airport then she and one of my MOHs and I are touring the venue, followed by two dress appointments. I'm...

3856 days agoAre we talking a week, a day, a few weeks? I'm looking to visit David's Bridal and 1-2 local boutiques. My mom is only in town for a week so I'm hoping to find the one at one of those places. How early did you make your appointments, and how much...

3883 days agoAnyone else have to follow up with every single vendor? I know I'm a year out, but I'm used to getting under contract quickly with my vendors when I was a planner. Aside from the few that were professional friends prior to now, I've been tracking...

3888 days agoI just spent the evening sending FB messages to get addresses for a good 50% of our guest list. So many people asked for the wedding date (duh, why else am I asking for their address?) and said they'd mark their calendar, I'm thinking, "why am I...

3895 days agoAt 3:07 this afternoon I got a call. "Hi, this is Dave, the bus driver for the wedding." I'm thinking, cool, they're touching base, but I'm not sure why. He continues, "I'm here at the first pick up and no one is coming out of the hotel. Am I in the...

3901 days agoMy mom lives thousands of miles away, so I only see her 1-2 times a year. Although my parents are generously covering most of the wedding costs, my mom has thus far been pretty hands off. "Just tell me where to send the check!" Anyway, lately she...
